    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Hello everyone - 1st post

Just out of interest, our claim reference number is lower than 250 and when we rang this week, our account is still with the fscs and hasn't been passed over to Deloitte, although they confirmed that Picture were in default and some accounts had been passed across - does anyone know if they are passing accounts in reference number order. We were told the standard "Up to 6 months"

hi all

 

i too took a consolidation loan with picture in 2006 , my monthly payments are over £540 which is crippling us every month , i received a letter recently though saying in october i will be receiving £.... in a insurance payment due to having never made a claim etc in the 1st 3 years of the deal

 

maybe i should demand full refund as at the time of taking the loan my head was in a mess to my debt situation and i feel picture totally took advantage of this

 

also , im now in a I.V.A ( i wish id taken this option origionally before trying to consolidate ) , my iva company wrote to me recently and asked if i had the agreement with picture as this may not be legal ???

yes there was a break down ,but they give you a chance to write in if you think,the amount is wrong,,thats what im waiting for ,to see other peoples reactions,,remember they only pay 90% of anything over £2000,,it also says there is no payment for future payments or the term of the loan,,just giving you the money back for the original ppi policy plus a little compensation ,which doesnt seem right to me..im not banking the cheque just yet ,,ill wait and see ...

and to the other question ,it was a secured loan,with ppi..

Good news - This raises another question though, does this mean then that the policy is still potentially in force? and if so would we still be able to make a claim while the policy is in force and will we still be eligible for the "No Claim Bonus" if we don't make a claim. We have checked and any lump sum payments made to the loan account (IE the lump sum from FSCS) WILL incurr an early payment penalty from Picture. Personally I think that if we are successful we will use the payment not on Picture and get the no claim bonus until the PPI expires.

PPI is cancelled if your claim is successful. Even if you dont pay back any money. You cant get your no claims bonus and receive a full refund of PPI fom the FSCS.

Who did you check about the penalty with?

Picture/Target told us that any lump sum payments made to the loan would attract a penalty payment. We can't make payment to the PPI seperately as the loan is a single account and the insurance premium was paid at the account opening and is now secured against our home as part of the loan. It may well turn out that when our claim gets settled and Picture realise that the money is from a PPI claim they may choose not to enforce the early payment charge. I haven't checked with FSCS about the legality of Picture further penalising us for paying off the insurance amount off the loan, I will wait to see what happens first.

 

Has anyone that has received a settlement tried to pay off Picture yet?

hi,i wasnt expecting to recieve anything,,your policy is in force,,you are only claiming against picture for selling you the policy,,remember picture no longer exists,,they trade under a new name,,everything with your policy stays the same,,as im now actually claiming on mine now,for the first time..its the fscs that pay you out ,not the insurance company,,,your claim is against picture,,they give you the money back as if you had not bought the policy,,it is up to you if you pay back the policy money ,then cancel it altogether..i put my claim in around the start of 08..

Thanks bigdaddy121, that is really useful information. I only asked what you were expecting as you said you were waiting to bank your cheque.

Congratulations.

Was it the questionnaire because you have settled your loan?

 

 

No one that I know knows what the criteria is, so I hope someone on here answers your question.

Yes Pinknico just asked all about the loan, they asked for an insurance policy number which i don,t have so i rang them and they said it was o.k they would locate it from my loan number. I am 50/50 on my chances what do you think ?

thanks by the way

It s ok honestbob, Deloitte were asked to send out these questionnaires at the end of September to those that had settled Picture loans with another provider so they can calculate how much interest you have still been paying on the PPI part of the loan and you would get that back also, as well as the original premium and all payments made towards the ppi so far.

 

 

And none of us had a policy number!
